Chapter 171 Faith in Godhood
"Uh... card-drawing weapons?"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help scratching the back of his head as he read the description of the duel disk, feeling a little pain in his balls and anus.

As we all know, card drawing = luck.

As for luck, he was never sure of it.

However, this piece of equipment should be able to benefit from luck-related items, and then you can get another one to match it with, and maybe you can make money continuously.

Perfect quality props can provide great help, and the combat effectiveness of major card games is not low. Just like in Yu-Gi-Oh, playing cards can easily destroy the world, the survival of the earth, and the survival of parallel universes...

Next is the skill scroll.

[Skill name: Overdose Healing]

[Quality: perfect]

[Special Effect: Select any number of targets within a 1000-meter range and perform overdose treatment on them, causing abnormal growth and deformation of their flesh and blood.]

[Consumption: 10 spiritual value per second]

[Note: "This is not a healing skill, but it can be used to make a fortune." - famous organ dealer Sente Jervoma. ]

"Overdose?"

Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows. This skill was interesting, but considering the appearance of flesh and blood growing and deforming... it seemed more like a polluting skill that acted on the body.

Eternal Genes and those forces whose main business is body transformation will certainly like this skill very much. The proliferation and deformation of flesh and blood means that more organs and limbs can grow on a living individual, which can be used for research or for sale.

The organs of ordinary people can be sold for money, but the organs of extraordinary creatures will only be sold at a higher price.

If you build a factory assembly line and capture hundreds or thousands of extraordinary creatures for mass production of limb organs, becoming the world's richest man will be just around the corner.

Well... there's also the possibility of being hanged from a streetlight by the Bureau's Humanitarian Association.

Zhou Yuan has caught quite a few Pokémon, and he also caught two new Charmanders in the dungeon. If he can make them grow extra organs and harvest them, he will be able to earn a steady stream of income.

However, it is still unknown whether the deformity can be restored to its original state, and it is also unknown whether the removal of excess tissue will leave any sequelae.

At the same time, we also have to consider whether the Pokémon can accept it...

Anyway, let’s find a few monsters to test it out first.

After opening the box, Zhou Yuan turned on his phone to check the messages, but unfortunately no one was looking for him.

But each group is very lively, with messages flooding the screen like crazy.

Today, everyone stopped posting erotic pictures and instead discussed this unusual event that affected the entire world, as well as the official statement released by the federal government, the complete list of unusual items, images of the unusual event, and so on.

Seven hours before Zhou Yuan woke up, the narrative overlay crisis was resolved, and all the souls that entered the abnormal plane returned to their own bodies. Most people survived, and a few died in the abnormal plane.

Although it is a minority of people, you have to know that the base number of people in distress involved in this abnormal incident is more than 30 million. Even if it is only a small part, it is an extremely large number.

When everyone returned, the bodies of the dead in the real world quickly became rotten and dilapidated. Many people recorded the scene of their relatives' bodies becoming torn into pieces, and the video quickly spread on the Internet, causing large-scale panic.

But this panic only lasted for a dozen minutes before it was replaced by a greater shock.

After the unconscious people woke up, they immediately told the Internet about what they saw and heard in the abnormal plane. A large number of returnees also published the pictures they took in the abnormal plane and showed the special items they brought out from the abnormal plane.

This caused people all over the world to go crazy, and they were engaged in heated discussions with excitement or fear, and all major online platforms were paralyzed at one point.

After this, the Earth Federation officials held a press conference, and signals were inserted into hundreds of millions of televisions, computers, radios, and mobile phones around the world, announcing the existence of supernatural forces to all mankind.

The official confirmation made the whole world boil over, and set off unprecedented storms in reality and on the Internet.

Announcing the existence of supernatural forces to the world will inevitably have an irreversible and far-reaching impact on the entire civilization.

Panic spread through the city and riots broke out like a plague.

The number of shootings in the United States has hit a new high, and zero-dollar shopping is happening on every street.

The evil cults in Yingzhou and Hanzhou were so rampant that they held parades in the streets and recruited many followers.

There was also large-scale looting and stockpiling of supplies in supermarkets in Dongzhou.

The intervention of the Federal Military and the Bureau of Control has to some extent controlled the riots around the world. In order to get through this chaotic period as quickly as possible, the Bureau of Control has also developed a special meme that can enable humans to accept supernatural powers more quickly and get used to them.

According to estimates, it will take at most half a month for the world to return to normal.

In addition, the Bureau also released a complete list of anomalous items and many images of anomalous events, and announced that it would launch new courses in schools around the world to train more outstanding extraordinary people or related scholars and practitioners to cope with the upcoming golden age.

The Extraordinary Forum was also exposed to the public, but only extraordinary people could register an account on the forum, so ordinary people could only read posts but not post or reply.

As a result, major online platforms have become places for people to complain.

What’s interesting is that the Internet, which was once full of hostility, has become friendly when discussing matters related to Extraordinary People. The atmosphere is even more harmonious than that on pornographic websites.

It is said that a netizen was slapped several times in the face by a Beyonder through the Internet using arcane power because his remarks were too aggressive. He saw stars and knelt down to beg for mercy.

As soon as this incident came to light, everyone immediately realized that if they offended a Beyonder online, they could really be killed through the Internet.

Therefore, the atmosphere on the Internet instantly became harmonious, and even the place known as the "cesspool of the Internet" restrained its aggressiveness. After all, no one knew whether they would offend the Beyonder and bring about a fatal disaster.

Zhou Yuan browsed around and finally, with great determination, searched for the Night City reality show on major video websites. There were videos, but the number of views was pitifully small and there were few comments.

After all, the most popular videos right now are of Extraordinary People performing their special powers, or introducing magical and unusual items.

At this moment, the door of the ward opened and a group of medical staff came in one after another. They conducted a detailed examination on him and left one after another after making sure that there was nothing serious.

Zhou Yuan went through the discharge procedures, changed his clothes and left the ward. As soon as he left the medical department, his cell phone rang.

It’s Gu Chacha from the Holy Crow Cult.

"what's up?"

"Son, please come to the Xinyue headquarters." Gu Chacha said, "The goddess has new instructions."

If you have instructions, why don’t you tell me directly... Zhou Yuan muttered inwardly, and after leaving the Control Bureau, he rushed to the Holy Crow Cult headquarters in Xin Yue without stopping.

·
Due to the existence of the scourge Zhen Wuliang in Xin Yue, the headquarters of the Holy Crow Cult here does not have a fixed location, otherwise it would be demolished every time it was built by angry forces.

The temporary headquarters is located in a villa, which is owned by Gu Chacha. You can’t tell that this high school student is actually a wealthy woman.

Many people gathered in the villa, all of them were high-ranking members of the New Guangdong Holy Crow Cult. When they saw Zhou Yuan coming, someone shouted loudly:

"All rise!"

"Welcome to the Holy Son!"

All of them stood up and bowed: "Greetings, Holy Son!"

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and nodded calmly:
"My dear ministers, please stand up."

He knew the character of this group of people too well. If they felt bored, they would not do this again. So he waved his hand like an emperor, signaling everyone to stand up, and then sat on the sofa: "Goddess, what instructions do you have?"

Gu Chacha placed a stack of photos on the table and spread them out with her palm moving horizontally.

These are all photos of Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan was startled, picked up the photos and looked at them one by one, frowning:

"This is?"

"Your photo made with AI."

Gu Chacha looked at Zhou Yuan solemnly and said seriously, "Holy Son, in order to save the Holy Crow Cult, please debut as an idol!"

"God damn idol debut!"

Zhou Yuan laughed angrily and threw the photo on the table. "When did the Holy Crow Cult need me to save it? No, when did it need to be saved?"

"Right now."

Gu Cha Cha said seriously, "The curtain has been lifted, and all the major forces are busy expanding themselves and recruiting fresh blood. If the Holy Crow Cult does not follow the changes, it will be eliminated sooner or later.

You are so handsome, if you become an idol you will definitely become the best in the world, and then our Holy Crow Church will benefit from it and become the most famous church, with money, status, connections, believers, etc., all flowing in continuously."

"more importantly."

Gu Chacha's voice sank. "You can use this to embark on the path of faith to become a god."

“The Internet age is the most suitable for taking the path of faith and becoming a god, especially now that the curtain has been lifted and the extraordinary has been announced. It is a great opportunity to gather believers. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again.

As far as I know, the Control Bureau and even all the major forces are now trying to become idols and gather the power of fans' faith to become gods.

Next, it will definitely be an era of big idols that will soar to the sky! "

Zhou Yuan fell silent.

There is one thing to say, indeed.

The most important thing on the path to becoming a god is the power of faith. By becoming an idol and gaining a large number of fans, one can collect the power of faith from the fans. You must know that the faith of some fanatical fans in idols is no weaker than that of fanatics!

More importantly, the development of the Internet has connected people all over the world. The number of fans of an internationally renowned idol can even reach hundreds of millions. Even if the quality is not high, the number is large enough to definitely gather the power of faith quickly.

but……

“It feels so troublesome.”

Zhou Yuan sighed, "Not only do we have to deal with a lot of interpersonal relationships, but we also have to consider the development of the cult. We may even have to compete with other idols. Moreover, once we lose believers, our strength will plummet or even disappear. I don't think it's as good as the path to godhood where our power belongs to ourselves."

"But it's fast, and the path to becoming a god is not unchangeable. You can take the path of faith in becoming a god in the early stages, and then switch to another path in the middle and late stages. Regardless of anything else, we have to occupy the pit first." Gu Cha Cha said.

After a brief thought, Zhou Yuan felt that this was indeed a good way to go and that now was indeed a rare opportunity.

The road is paved in front of you, how can you not walk on it?

"Then let me try. How should I do it?"

Gu Chacha stroked her chin and exchanged glances with the others:
“You don’t need to go through so much trouble, just take a video.

There is no time to lose, let's get started now, the faster the better, lest someone else gets there first!"

·
So Zhou Yuan was pulled over to shoot videos for an entire afternoon.

And the result was just as Gu Chacha had expected. With this face and this figure, as long as she put on some handsome clothes and struck a few poses, she could attract the attention of a large number of viewers.

By seven o'clock in the evening, in just half a day, Zhou Yuan's number of fans on various platforms reached a terrifying two million.

With a charm value of 23 points, you don't need any skills at all, you're just cool.

After the fire started, Zhou Yuan immediately felt a burst of heat coming from the crow mark on the back of his left hand.

The exhausted divine power was actually growing slowly.

"Is this the effect of the power of faith?" Zhou Yuan was stunned.

Immediately, the Eye of Identification popped up a prompt:

[Ms. Raven has specially given you a fragment of divinity as a reward.]

This……

Zhou Yuan was stunned. Divine fragments? When did Lady Raven give them to me? Why didn't she tell me? Hmm... He has been silent since his return. He must have gone to refine the evil god, right?
The preciousness of the fragments of divinity is self-evident. Even mortals can gain divinity after absorbing the fragments of divinity and thus step onto the long runway to godhood.

However, even if you step onto the long steps to become a god, you still have a long way to go.

Zhou Yuan studied it carefully. It seemed that this divine fragment was peeled off by Lady Raven from her body. The divine power contained in it was darkness, death, disaster, and sleep...

It is quite suitable for shadow-type extraordinary people.

Zhou Yuan observed for a while and found that the growth rate of the power of faith was not fast, and he was unable to even release skills at present.

This is normal. After all, it is just the beginning. It is not easy to obtain the power of faith. It would be abnormal if fans could generate the power of faith easily.

"Son, it's time to live. Do you want to take it?"

Gu Chacha walked in at this time.

"What kind of work?"

Gu Cha Cha said grimly:
"When exploring a haunted building, I suggest you live stream the entire process. I'll find someone to help and buy a few trending searches, and your fan base will surely soar."

Zhou Yuan didn't really want to go, and shook his head: "I just finished a dungeon, let me take a break."

At this time, the phone rang.

The caller was Chen Guangxi.

Zhou Yuan's hands trembled, and he suddenly became confused and panicked.

He stared at the screen of his mobile phone for a long time, and finally hung up the phone for some unknown reason and sent a text message to say that he was busy.

Gu Chacha was about to walk out when Zhou Yuan suddenly called her.

"Wait a minute, I'll take this mission."

"Didn't you say you wanted to take a rest?" Gu Cha Cha asked puzzled.

Zhou Yuan straightened his chest and said righteously:

"How can we, as monks, allow evil spirits to wreak havoc? It is our duty to exorcise the evil spirits!"
